Car Is Great —
fast, great brakes, great handling, great build quality(yes has needed repairs), does not squeak or rattle, Appearence is Awesome, interior and exterior look Awesome, affordable(great gas mileage), great maintence, Car is very fun to drive! (especially at night).

It Has It's Ups And Its Downs. —
Performance- Acceleration is unbelievably quick for an inline four cylinder. Braking is excellent and this car takes turns like it's riding on rails.
Build Quality- The Chevrolet Cavalier has had numerous problems. Expect to get what you pay for. It has needed several repairs, most of them being strange electrical problems. Sunroof stopped working, driver window refuses to work during rain/fog. Very strange problems that can't seem to be fixed. Poor design on the hubcaps has the wheels constantly squeaking, not a problem but very annoying. Windshield wipers stopped working, had them repaired but don't work on first intermittent setting for some reason.
Cost of ownership- Maintenance has been a pain. The only good thing about the car is that it's very sporty, and the gas mileage is amazing. I'm averaging around 27 mpg.
Fun Factor- This car is a lot of fun to drive. Take one for a test drive, you won't be disappointed.

2003 Chevrolet Cavalier —
Good gas mileage, nice travel car. Apperance isn't all to love, cheap to own. Ecotec motor doesn't have a good reputation and now i see why. It's hard to figure out what's wrong when something doesn't run right. It's an OK car, not chevy's best though.

This Is A Great First Car (or 2nd, 3rd) —
not too big (fits where little things can), not too small (good leg
room for the 6'7" friends), nice for a Sunday drive, great on gas
for getting somewhere fast, contoured seating but affordable,
easy maintenance, not too flashy to make you feel reckless, but
definitely not boxy or cheap to make you feel like a missionary
- just perfect in size, shape and design... it's a cavalier, man,
not a ferrari - it's perfect for the cavalier-sized pocket to afford
and adore...

It`s A Chevy... —
for a steel at 10 g it has power excelleration but if it wasn`t a standard it wouldn`t have as much go. my first American car and i`ll stick to imports. Had to replace almost everything... i guess you get what you pay for.

Not A Bad Buy...i Would Probably Buy This Car Again If I Needed Another Family Vehicle. —
Gets me from point A to point B in average time. Not too bad on gas mileage, but I bought it used so it has a few problems. I keep hitting curbs so it rides kinda bumpy, but that's user error!

Sexy Thing —
performance good
quality good
appearance ok
cost cheap
fun ok
very relaiable
gets me where i need to go( down to texas)
cheap on gas
has nice gas mileage
its not the fastest but its beat it fair share of fast cars

My Current Care —
First car I've ever bought and paid off. I've been through thick and thin with this car. Mine has a sunroof and XM radio built in. It's stick too (that's all I drive). I hope I have a few more years out of it!
